Re: Fillmore West - Feb/Mar 1969 |
Not to be Christian about it, but that's like asking which of the four gospels is best--one can have one's personal favorites, but the least is still pretty amazing.
So you like John. Grate stuff indeed, other than IMO the weakest TOO of the run.
I think 2-28 (Mark?) beats the others by a nose, with a tight first set including a better Dew than 3-2's rather ragged one, a more meditative Dark Star than 3-2's more intense one, the best Eleven I've ever heard, the 2nd best TOO of the run (behind 3-1), and an Alligator>Caution that is shorter than 3-2's and not so full-barreled confident but has some interesting complexities.
But what a choice to have to make! Here's an even more agonizing (senseless?) question: which night do you think is the least of the four? I can't even!

What, you're an Arian too? But if the Son isn't coeternal with the Father, the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection lose much of their salvific power!
In all seriousness, a great treatment of the development of Christian doctrine is J.N.D. Kelly's Early Christian Doctrines:

For my money, the early church made the right choices doctrinally, including when they rejected Gnostic ideas.
